Below are the two xml files used. There is very small difference between these two XML files. Just try to understand how Compare method gives results. You can always change/modify the code according to your requirements.
XML file-1 - env.xml
XML file-2 - env1.xml
Using different XML files:
Set doc=XMLUtil.CreateXML
doc.LoadFile "C:\ENV.xml"
Set docx=XMLUtil.CreateXML
docx.LoadFile "C:\ENV1.xml"
res = docx.Compare(doc,resultDoc,micXMLValues+micXMLCDataSections)
msgbox resultDoc
if res = 1 then
msgbox "Documents match :)"
else
msgbox "do not match "
end if
Results of running the above code:
Using same XML files:
Set doc=XMLUtil.CreateXML
doc.LoadFile "C:\ENV.xml"
Set docx=XMLUtil.CreateXML
docx.LoadFile "C:\ENV.xml"
res = docx.Compare(doc,resultDoc,micXMLValues+micXMLCDataSections)
msgbox resultDoc
if res = 1 then
msgbox "Documents match :)"
else
msgbox "do not match "
end if
Results of running the above code:
Compare Method
XMLData.Compare(XMLDocument, ResultXMLDocument [, Filter])
XMLDocument: The XML document object that you want to compare to this XMLData object.
ResultXMLDocument: An XMLData object containing the differences between the XMLData object and the XML document specified in the XMLDocument argument.
Filter:
0 or micXMLNone: Compares the elements and document type declaration of the specified XML documents.
1 or micXMLAttributes: Compares the attributes of the specified XML documents, in addition to their elements and document type declaration. etc. for more on this see QTP Guide
This method returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the two files are equal.
